The wine is made from low-yielding, old (planted in 1974) Chenin Blanc vineyards. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe. The soil is rich in iron, clay and sand. The wine is all fermented with native yeasts, spontaneously in large 400 litre French oak barrels and aged for 10-12 months, before careful selection of the best barrels and assemblage.
Matthew Duke spontaneously contributed to the wine’s name, The FMC, which described the wine as “This is frickin marvelous chenin”. Heavy, intense, mineral dry white wine smells of dried apricots, honey and vanilla. Wine with a very good maturity potential.
Serve at 10-12 °C with spiced dishes, mild seafood,shellfish or curries. Great with exotic Eastern spiced foods.
